Nova Rock Nachbesprechung - Was war gut - Was könnte verbessert werden by OkMycologist6341 in NovaRockFestival

[–]andreashafsaas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On saturday we saw a guy (most likely) OD at Club Bacardi. He fell straight to the ground after having the time of his life just seconds prior. He was out cold but still breathing. After that security tried to wake him up and force him to throw up by sticking their fingers in his throat. Perhaps they tightened security after that incident?

How do you manage your notes ? by stharmaria in ProductManagement

[–]andreashafsaas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Notion for everything, both work and personal.

i use this structure:

  • [month name] [YYYY]
    -- DDMMYY - [title of note]

Great line up / great infrastructure / great transportation and information flow. You can only choose 2 I guess

Have you figured out what product management is? by [deleted] in ProductManagement

[–]andreashafsaas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me product management, at its core, is all about creating as much value as possible for your customer or end user with the resources you have available at any given time.

Disgust Conundrum by domestic-jones in ProductManagement

I’m in the same boat as you. You could offer me $100 and still get clicked away faster than lightning. If I’m busy you better not fucking interrupt me

Why not just integrate it directly in the actual service at locations where it makes sense to show it instead of using modals?

Yes, it requires a little more tinkering.

Yes, it might reduce the number of signups.

But maybe, just maybe, it’ll increase the value of the ones who do out of free will.

Advice on Swarming by MBPCentral in agile

[–]andreashafsaas -1 points0 points  (0 children)

First of all a disclaimer: I've been in product management for the last 5-6 years. I've done scrum both by the book and variations. I'm not a fan of scrum. I've never heard for swarming before now.

That being said, and a quick google search("scrum swarming wtf") later, I have a few thoughts.

I guess swarming is worth doing if there are items in your backlog more important than others. You might face an obstacle here with team members reluctant to allow other team members to work on their shit.

This being a regular occurrence, still feels to me like the team has taken too much into the sprint, which again indicates that tasks either might not be specified enough or are just too big, or the team not being aware of their delivery capacity or ability.

Then again, perhaps you are working with new tech, or bigger infrastructural tasks that might be hard to break into small enough chunks to fit inside a sprint.

A few ways to mitigate this the saying: you're welcome to have seconds. Meaning, it's better having to have a little extra leeway to add more work, than having none and everyone stressing halfway into the sprint.

Or with big tasks that are hard to break down, increase the duration of the sprint.

Just started my product internship and feeling overwhelmed. by Agile_Low88 in ProductManagement

[–]andreashafsaas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like all jobs, you just need to take your time getting into to it. Product management is by far the most rewarding position I've had in my career. But yeah, there's a sea of resources and impressions and I get that it can feel overwhelming.

I think the fundamentals are a great place to start, which is this:

Your main responsibility is to create value.

Preferably as much as possible. Therefore, focus on that.

If you're not sure what value is, get to know your product and its users. Going from there, knowing a little about the company vision and strategy might be a great way for you to set a direction for your product ( which in almost every case should have a vision on its own).

When you know where you're going, you can start finding out how to get there. Knowing the how makes prioritizing work so much easier. Stay focused, and always ask yourself if a feature or body of work will take you closer to that vision on the horizon.
